I think defense was a huge part of eliminations at Granite State District. As the 6 seed, 88 picked another good breaching, low goal robot (1831) and a bigger robot to play defense (1786). It worked great. A lot of the alliances we faced had not yet been challenged by defensive efforts and it really paid off towards the win! For early events, do not underestimate the power of quick low goal cycling and defense. Those extra capture points are worth a lot more than making a few high goal shots and not getting the capture.
